Ingredients
  

Protein
  • 12 oz cooked, pork-free sausage (e.g., turkey or plant-based) Can substitute with chicken or beef.
Veggies
  • 1 large red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 large zucchini (thinly sliced and patted dry) Ensure it's patted dry to avoid excess moisture.
  • 2 large ears of corn (kernels removed from cooked cobs)
Cooking Essentials
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Spices
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
Toppings
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Fold in the cooked sausage, then sprinkle the chili powder. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes to heat through.
  4. Incorporate the corn kernels and chopped cilantro, stirring to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve warm, either on its own or over rice or tortillas for a complete meal.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or onion. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat on the stove for best results, adding a splash of water to steam.
